For people already running kde it's ok, but for the rest of us 
it's a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
I used to use a few "k" apps in the 3 days, they were small and 
easily integrated into the system. Now kde is like it's own OS, 
so they've basically eliminated their apps from consideration of 
non-kde users.

Not that it matters much to me, one of the strengths of gentoo 
is how many ways there are to do a given task.
But there are quite a few kde zealots who seem to be completely 
unaware of what we mean by "fast, light, standalone".

I guess some people didn't experience the 80s or 90s.
